You may want to check your medical marijuana plants for “bud rot” (mold). Bud rot will turn the inside of the flower (buds) a dark grey to black and will be mushy to touch. Most likely, however, it is just the strain you are cultivating. Some terpenes are responsible for very unpleasant odors such as dirty feet, old socks, skunk, and even sweat — so not all bad smells are signs of alarm. As plants mature, the smell tends to increase, so keep checking to see as things develop. Click here to learn more MANTIS_RECOMMEND = { property: …

By mapping out terpene profiles for a given batch of medical marijuana, we are able to predict and even manipulate the effects and medicinal value of varieties, giving breeders endless opportunities for developing new strains by basing breeding decisions on real analytical data. The more we are able to communicate using the same language, the easier it for everyone to understand clearly what medicine they are getting.

Caryophyllene is the only terpene known to interact with the endocannabinoid system (CB2). Research shows shows that β–caryophyllene selectively binds to the CB2 receptor and that it is a functional CB2 agonist. Further, β–caryophyllene was identified as a functional non-psychoactive CB2 receptor ligand in foodstuff and as a macrocyclic anti-inflammatory cannabinoid in cannabis.
